PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN WORKING 2.4.5 MOVING ON SLOPES Operations on slopes and on river or lake banks with damp ground may result in the tipping over or slipping of the machine. On hills, banks or slopes, keep the bucket very close to the ground (20-30 cm (8 to 12 in) from the ground) and in case of emergency quickly lower it to the ground to help the machine stop. Do not change direction and avoid travelling obliquely when working on slopes. It is advisable to go down or up to a flat place to perform these operations. 20-30 cm (8-12 in) RWA32830 Do not travel on wet grass or thick layers of leaves: if the ma- chine moves obliquely in these conditions, it may slip.
Do not move on slopes with inclination exceeding 30°, since the machine may overturn. When the fuel level indicator reaches the red reserve area dur- ing work on a slope, immediately provide for refuelling; due to the inclination of the machine, the engine may suck in air and suddenly stop, which represents a grave risk for the safety of the operator and of the persons before the machine. If the engine should stop all of a sudden, immediately lower the bucket to the ground. 20-30 cm (8-12 in) RWA32840 WRONG RWA06820 CORRECT RWA06930 47
